Chinese startup UBTECH Robotics just snagged a $37M contract to deploy its Walker S2 humanoid robots at the China-Vietnam border in Fangchenggang, where they’ll guide passenger queues, direct vehicles, patrol corridors, and inspect cargo containers. The deployment follows China’s 2023 directive to build a national humanoid robotics innovation system by 2025.
Oh! So a grand success then! They just made it, but I’m sure the machines are ready and fully capable. Probably, they were just taking their time, putting the finishing touches on, so everything would go perfectly. I’m sure they could have deployed months ago, but since they had the extra time, they used it wisely.
I predict great things!
